Imagine being late for work one day and the boss docks your pay for a month. That's how benefit sanctions work

@JuliaHB1@Kevin_Maguire . So you think having been a presenter on@LBC makes you an expert on benefits sanctions!! Crazy!! -
@BernardMcEldown you mustn't take one person's version of events as the gospel truth. Worth exploring WHY they were really sanctioned. -
@JuliaHB1 Tweet from@Kevin_Maguire " Out of work back in 2011, was 7 mins late to sign on. Got a three month sanction. Still angers me now" -
@BernardMcEldown yes but when I asked the tweeter if he had been late before & if had warnings, failed to reply. Possibly not the full story -
@JuliaHB1 Think its a case of you believe what you want to believe. This cruel government is shafting the poor and disabled#GetCameronOut -
@BernardMcEldown I hate to tell you this but if you think Labour will reverse any welfare reforms except bedroom tax, you'll be disappointed -
.
@JuliaHB1 Is that 'fact' or 'conjecture'? Inside info perchance? A source 'close to...'?@BernardMcEldown -
@PaulRutherford8@BernardMcEldown It's an educated guess based on public and private statements by frontbenchers. Good enough for you? - 1 more reply

@JuliaHB1@Kevin_Maguire my experience from casework quite often the opposite - numbers seem to have increased in last couple of years -
@tomgreatrexmp@Kevin_Maguire of course they have - it's a policy decision. -
@JuliaHB1@Kevin_Maguire numbers without warning appear to have gone up in last 2 yrs as well. Casework tells diff story to yr lbc callers?

@JuliaHB1@Kevin_Maguire Hi Julia. DWP's guidance to JCP staff is to sanction 'first time and every time' - not just for major failings -
@annamdrew have you got a copy of that guidance or other evidence you can send me please? -
@JuliaHB1@annamdrew Errr when did benefits become PAY!! I thought they were a stop gap not a lifestyle choice!! Calling it PAY is a problem -
@PupspurJeanette@JuliaHB1 DWP says that JSA claimants should see 'getting a job as their job': they recieve payments for this until they do

@JuliaHB1@Kevin_Maguire This is just wrong, Julia. First one hears is by letter that there is a 'doubt', near the day JSA's due in account.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
